I wanted to share one of my latest creations here, the Fall Fantasy Fae.
I'm quite excited about her, she's something a bit new for me...nearly 2 feet tall, she's definitely one of the largest dolls I've made yet.
Fall Fantasy Fae is the very first in a special series of one of a kind collectible dolls I will be creating --combining both of my favorite mediums--clay and softsculpture. Each one will come signed and dated by the artist.
Here, I've handpainted the face, then needlesculpted it to add definition and a 3-D effect. This is then attached to the head and torso, which is sculpted from italian air dry clay.
The body from the waist down to the feet and the arms to the wrists is a strong wire armature, wrapped in cotton and cloth.
Fall Fantasy Fae's hair is soft hand-dyed mohair, and her gown and leggings are created from vintage fabrics, lace and ribbon.
Her hair is adorned with a removable garland of (fabric) fall leaves and flowers. There are more that accent her gown.
Her hands, feet and pointed ears are sculpted from polymer clay. She is poseable, and her hood is also removeable.
I've had a lot of fun making her, and hope you enjoy her too : )
